Comments
Comments: My first winter NH4000 footer. the day was clear and the views spectacular from the final summit approach and the summit itself. some of the views are only available during the winter as you are hiking about 5-7 feet higher than normal. The wind picked up and was gusting pretty well and I was exhausted so I didn't go onward to Flume.
I only saw 2 ladies actually using snowshoes, mine and most others got a ride.
the trail to Little Haystack is NOT broken out, the sign is nearly buried completely.
Fresh snow tonight and warming up temps next week so I'd suggest snowshoes to help keep the trail in good condition if you are hiking next week.
